Overview

A UHNW Principal is seeking a polished, energetic Travelling Housekeeper and Service Steward to join a small, established household team. This is a rare opportunity to become part of a trusted “core team” supporting the Principal across Monaco, within Europe and the USA, travelling regularly and working to exceptional standards.

This role is best suited to a yacht interior or high-end hospitality professional who enjoys fast-paced service, takes pride in immaculate housekeeping, and is comfortable being hands-on. You will provide confident, informal service (drinks, light food, guest support) alongside detailed cleaning, laundry, wardrobe care and organisation. Service is a major part of the role, but you must also be fully willing to handle all housekeeping tasks, including bathrooms, to a luxury standard.

Travel is a key element. Flights are typically private, and accommodation is in high-quality private residences and villas. Discretion, composure, and pace are essential.

  • Based in the South of France (or able to commute to Monaco reliably)

  • Able to travel frequently and be away for periods of 1 to 3 weeks at a time, sometimes at short notice

  • Physically fit and energetic. Able to be on your feet for long shifts

  • Highly organised, detail-driven, discreet, and emotionally steady

Ideal Background

  • Yacht steward or stewardess transitioning to a land-based travelling role

  • Private household housekeeper with strong service duties

  • Luxury hotel professional with private residence exposure

Working Pattern
